<h2>About</h2>
<p>
    This website is one part of a project prepared to fill the requirements of CA3 for the EAD module of the Higher Diploma in Science in Computing programme.
</p>
<p>
    The group is made up of two students:
    <li>Feargal O'Keeffe</li>
    <li>David Moran</li>

    <h3>Web Service and Mobile Phone Application</h3>
<p>
    The database behind this application stores the teams, divisions and fixtures for the 2013 GAA National League. The database is a SQL Azure database and is a cloud database. A WCF service also exists to extract the data from the database, the methods in the WCF service are designed to take specific data from the database and to avoid unwanted interference with the data.
</p>
<p>
    A phone application was also created which in which the user calls on of the methods in the WCF service at a time and displays the results to the user. The phone application uses the Windows Phone 7.1 OS and Silverlight for Windows Phone as its platform.
</p>
    <h3>ASP.Net MVC</h3>
<p>
    This website is implemented in the .NET framework in C#, using ASP.Net MVC 3. The website is deployed on a Windows Azure account.
</p>
<p>
    The website accesses data stored on the SQL Azure database and presents it to the user. The data can be filtered using the "Filter" option presented as a link near the top of the page.
</p>
<p>
    The filter choice, along with the chosen parameter, are passed to the controller where the appropriate method is called. This then executes a LINQ query on the database and returns the data to the appropriate view.
